HI GUYS.
I AM FROM GREECE.AND I HAVE 10 SOUVENIR SHOPS.
MY PROBLEM IS AS WELL REPORTS.SPECIALLY THE ONE TOTAL BY STOCK.
EACH SHOP IS SAVING TOTAL BY STOCK REPORT AS DATA FILE AT THE
END OF THE DAY.
AND THOSE DATA FILES ARE PRINTED IN MY OFFICE.
PROBLEM IS THIS:
AMOUNTS ARE NET.
BUT NOT GROSS.
IS THERE A POSSIBILITY ADDING A REPORT FEATURE SO WOULD SHOW
RESULTS OF AMOUNTS AS GROSS.

Gross sales in reports

Post by Dale Harris » Wed Aug 04, 2004 8:47 am

Mikos,

I have no idea why you would want this. After all the tax paid on an item has nothing to do with your cost or profit on the item. You do not pay the tax, your customers do. You do not keep the tax, you are just collecting it for those swell tax folks in Greece. If the tax rate doubled or was cut in half you would not make any more profit or any less profit, it would not affect your business in any way (assuming that you sold the same amount of stuff.)

However I will assume that that for some arcane reason that you need to do this. Unfortunatly the merchandise totals in the stock table are entered without tax. Since the "Reports" feature uses the information in the stock table to compile the reports I do not see a way of reporting the sales with tax. While it would be possible to change the way the data is saved in the stock table to include tax that would then screw up the 99.999999% of the users who need the reports to work the way they work now.

Sorry,
Dale
